Associative Multicomponent Polymers in Bulk and at Interfaces
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cellulosabaserade vattenlösliga polymerers egenskaper i lösning och vid ytor har undersökts. Tyngdpunkten har legat på interaktioner med tensider och på effekter av polymerenas utpräglade multikomponentnatur.The solution and interfacial properties of an associative water-soluble cellulose derivative, ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose (EHEC) have been investigated. Main themes have been to study the effect of hydrophobic modification of the polymer (HM-EHEC) and the interactions with surfactants, both in bulk and at interfaces. The association strength of the HM-EHEC network was found to be modulated by eit
